You have received plenty of breakdowns and thoughts and picks from the Ohio State side of the media world, but we strive for well-roundedness as often as we can find it. As such, we are happy to have PennLive.com’s Dennis Hockensmith here to provide a keener insight to the Penn State side of things. As we do in big games like this…
It has been the most talked about Big Ten game of the year. Penn State vs. Ohio State is finally here. The Buckeyes have had some lopsided wins so far this season, but those are to be expected. Despite these big wins and record-setting games, however, it has appeared that no score was ever good enough (to Buckeye Nation) because it…
This is a pretty huge week of games, but there is no bigger game than Penn State at Ohio State this week. The No. 2 Nittany Lions (7-0, 4-0) take on the No. 6 Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0), with Ohio State currently a 6.5-point favorite. The national media is pretty split on how they see this game going, but what do they know? What do we know? I have no idea, but here’s what we think.
This game has the feel of a Bowl game, even a CFB Playoff game, and quite frankly could probably be analyzed for a few more weeks. This is a matchup of strength-on-strength no matter what phase you study, but let’s take a closer look at some of the key factors heading into the game versus Penn State.
Shannon Sommers and Chip Minnich get together to discuss the biggest game in the Big Ten this season. They are honored to have Kevin McGuire (@KevinonCFB) from NBC College Football Talk, Athlon Sports and No Two Minute Warning Podcast. Kevin helps break down what we are all hoping will be a great game between…
Penn State walked to midfield. Their confidence matched only by their cockiness. Their helmeted heads wagged so violently from side to side, you could almost hear the vertebrae screaming for help. Ohio State, meanwhile, stood waiting at the 50-yard line. Stoic, but ready to respond. When the Nittany Lions finally arrived, the talking began immediately.

Refresh for more once the show begins shortly after 12:00 pm.
The Buckeyes walked off the field at Penn State last year more stunned than dejected. The shock would eventually wear off and the emotions would seep in. Ohio State was able to overcome that loss and make the playoffs. They probably won’t have that same opportunity this year. If they lose, the division is lost, and so are their playoff hopes.
Penn State…the one game on the Big Ten schedule that every Buckeye fan has been looking forward to since last year’s team managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Brandon has already posted a great piece this week about his hatred for all thing Nittany Lion, and you can hear more from him on this week’s broadcast.
A proud son of Ohio, hailing from Point Pleasant, former Civil War general and the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant would be a strong advocate for as much advanced scouting of the enemy as possible before a battle was engaged. While I have the utmost confidence in Urban Meyer and his strong staff of assistants…
